Hasenhuttl revels in 'unbelievable' victory over Arsenal

Ralph Hasenhuttl admitted beating Arsenal for his first victory as Southampton manager was a moment to remember.

Arsene Wenger has announced that he will leave Arsenal at the end of the season, ending his 22-year career as the current longest-serving manager in the Premier League. Arsene Wenger holds the Community Shield aloft alongside Petr Cech as they celebrate their victory over Chelsea.

Manchester United remind Arsenal what's at stake when replacing Wenger . Paul Wilson. The favourite to take over is Luis Enrique, the former Barcelona manager whose credentials are being pushed by Raul Sanllehi, Arsenal ’s new head of football relations.

New Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl has revealed that he was never contacted in regards to the Arsenal job, despite being linked for the role.

The Austrian was linked with a switch to Arsenal after leaving RB Leipzig last Summer. However, the Gunners chose instead to go with Unai Emery, who had just left PSG.

Hasenhuttl has now taken over at Southampton, who sacked Mark Hughes earlier this week.

Speaking in his first press conference since joining Saints, The Austrian said, via BBC Sport:

“My name wasn’t big enough for the top six clubs.”

Hasenhuttl delivers Lemina injury update

Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has delivered an update on the condition of Mario Lemina. The Gabon international was forced to sit out of the Saints’ home win against Arsenal on Sunday afternoon as a consequence of a stomach injury. Hasenhuttl explained the midfielder’s exclusion from the matchday squad as he reflected on the team’s 3-2 win against the Gunners at St Mary’s Stadium. As quoted by Injury Data Analyst, Ben Dinnery, via Twitter, the Austrian boss confirmed that the former Juventus star is nursing a knock. He said: “Hopefully, [it is] not too serious. It’s about his stomach, it hurt him too much. If you can’t sprint 100 per cent, it’s better to say ‘no it doesn’t work’ and we have to put in someone else.” Lemina has been a key player for Southampton this season and started in Hasenhuttl’s first game in charge at Cardiff City last weekend. In the outing against Arsenal, the new Saints manager opted to utilise a central midfield pairing of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Oriol Romeu with Stuart Armstrong just ahead. As the team now begin to gear up for a crucial match against Huddersfield Town in the Premier League, though, Hasenhuttl will be desperate to have Lemina fit and at his disposal.

“My goal is to perform here with my team and take everyone with us to become a club with passion and with a good plan and play the kind of football we like. If we do that we can have a fantastic time together.”

“What I liked most last night [against Spurs] was the support our fans showed. It showed me the relationship is good, but they have to accept another style of football”

“It is a results business and we have to get them as soon as possible.”

The Austrian boss will have a tough time keeping Saints in the division, after a very poor start to the season under Mark Hughes.
